As of this writing, police in Gloucester City are still trying to put together an offal incident that happened Friday afternoon. Yes, it was awful, but it was also offal. As in the entrails and organs left over from slaughtered animals.

Police say a truck driver was on 130 and had to brake hard, causing a large amount of butchered animal remains to slosh out of the uncovered truck and all over the right two lanes. Then they say he simply drove off as if nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, cars had to either drive right through this hideous mess, spreading gore and bone even farther down the highway or fight with other drivers for road space to get around it.
Police Chief Brian Morrell says the load wasn’t secured properly…
